formal or ceremonial occasions in the presence of the person,
office-holder, or rank-holder, especially by a military band. The head
of state in many countries is honored with a prescribed piece of
music; in some countries the national anthem serves this purpose,

overlap with the ethnonym for the ethnically dominant group of a
